Matthew Morrison, the actor/singer who spent years building his career on Broadway before landing a starring role in Glee, has lashed out at performers who get famous on American Idol without putting in the work.

"I get frustrated with shows like American Idol, shows that just create people like that, like you get instant fame," he told USA Today. "I don't think that's the way to go about it. I don't think you really appreciate what you have if you can get it that way."

The 32-year-old confessed he had "no interest at all" in ever auditioning for Idol. "I love the journey I've had, really worked my way up to where I am now," he said.

Matthew is currently on the interview circuit promoting his new self-titled album, which features the single 'Still Got Tonight' — a song co-written by former American Idol winner Kris Allen. How about that.
